Self-Portraits

So this post may seem a bit conceited…. But if you knew me, you’d know I’m totally not.. unless it’s in a completely joking matter (I can’t help it if I’m AWWWWESOME and everyone wants to be me). Hahaha, totally kidding. Maybe. ;) 

Anyway. I’m taking a break from my 24-7 studying for my Finance midterm that’s been a craze for about a week now and uploading some of the self-portraits I took as a part of the portraiture assignment in my photo class. I had never taken any self-portraits before…. unless you count those really gross scene-kid-type pics from back in my emo-I-listen-to-the-best-music-ever & I’m-a-real-Fall-Out-Boy-fan-phase (and yes, I DID like them before “Sugar, We’re Going Down” and yes, I DID see them for only 8 bucks in a venue that maybe fits 100 people and yes, I DID touch Pete Wentz’s butt. But that’s a different story). 

I don’t know how people take such great self-portraits of themselves. They must have a lot of time on their hands to be walking back and forth, waiting for the timer, checking how the picture turned out, and attempting to re-position themselves in the perfect spot—all by guessing. 

It was definitely a challenge for me.. I’m glad I found out that it’s really not worth all that effort just to have a picture of myself. What am I gonna do with it anyway? Haha. It aint like I’m uploading to Lookbook.nu (ADVERTISEMENT for the site that I have oh-so-many connections to!) Haha.

It was interesting to figure out how I wanted to convey myself in the pics.. Man. Soooo.. Go crazy with ‘em. Break yo’self, fool!

PS. There are more portraiture pictures to come! And SOON! :)

Panda beanie….straight from the Motherland <3 Oh, how I love Taiwan.

Turned my living room into my own personal studio.. This was in a pitch black room with Augusta’s flood light. Thanks guys, for letting me borrow it!

Chaos in my mind.

Super creepy & abstract.

THEE perfect picture to represent my love for one of my all-time favorite bands, Brand New.

A twist on the typical mirror pic.

:D

Because music makes my world go round. 

My life would be a great television show.

And last but NOT LEAST…. I gotta get my love for Johnny boy into my self-portraits. One of the things that EVERYONE knows reflects me. And if you didn’t know that, then get outta hurr! :)
